Robocop 2 (1990)

Corrected entry: RoboCop is programmed with prime directives which he must follow. One of the rules, the third one, states that he must uphold the law and yet he crosses a double yellow while driving. The turn signal is not being used either.

Correction: Police are traditionally exempt from conventional traffic laws, and particularly in emergency and pursuit situations. Among many other things, police are allowed to exceed speed limits, drive against one-way traffic, pass in no-pass zones, and even force other vehicles off the road when the situation calls for it (these would be considered violations or even serious crimes if committed by civilians). All of these exemptions and more would certainly be written into Robocop's programming.
